The debate on Monday should tell us a good deal about where Bernie stands at this point. I'm hoping that he will focus like a laser beam on killing the G-C bill. If not, well then Bernie's being Bernie and that's the problem.
I'm not sure that most of those who stayed home on election day do regret their decision, but they should, given the obvious and terrible consequences of that decision.
I expect Bernie will run in 2020. I also hope that his supporters will realize that no one, absolutely no one who is 80 years old should be president of the US. Not Bernie, not Biden, not Hillary (if she were that age), no one. It's ludicrous.
I'm hoping that we find a new voice, a new and younger candidate, who can speak for both Democrats and Bernie supporters.
